Where Do International Job Seekers Look for Work?

Each year millions of people cross borders in search of new opportunities — and in today’s hyperconnected world it’s never been easier for job seekers to research the possibilities available to them elsewhere.

With a few taps of a finger or clicks of a mouse, any one of Indeed’s 200 million monthly users anywhere in the world can find out which jobs are open in countries as far apart and culturally distinct as the United Kingdom, Japan or Saudi Arabia, and many more others besides.

In the Indeed Hiring Lab’s latest report Global Migration Snapshot we analyze the data on millions of job searches that were carried out over a five month period in 2016 to shine a spotlight on where international job seekers are looking, which countries they are coming from, and what they want to do at their destination.
